About Cyrenians FareShare
We are part of the UK wide FareShare network, working to reduce food waste and tackle food inequality. From our depot in Edinburgh we redistribute quality surplus food to charities and community organisations supporting people across Central and South East Scotland. Our Community Food Members include foodbanks, community pantries, breakfast clubs, community meals, veterans' organisations and many other local groups who use food to support the people that they work with.
About the role
We’re looking for a Community Food Member Development Officer to help grow and support our network of Community Food Members, ensuring more good food reaches people who need it while reducing food waste. This is a varied and rewarding role where you’ll be responsible for growing, supporting and strengthening our Community Food Member network.
About You
You will be an enthusiastic, proactive individual who can work independently to build strong relationships and identify new opportunities for partnership working. Your excellent communication and organisational skills will help you work effectively towards achieving targets. Your ability to analyse data will support informed decision making and continuous service improvement for our Members. You will travel across Central & South East Scotland to visit CFM’s, so access to own vehicle or use of public transport is expected (costs will be reimbursed).
How we’ll support you
You will work independently as part of the Enterprise Team, while also collaborating closely with the Depot Operations Team and receiving ongoing support from your Manager. You will have access to wider Cyrenians support, including our learning and development programme and staff wellbeing services.
